MODE OF APPLYING A SHADE TO SAMUEL RUSTS OTHER LAMPS.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 565, dated January 9, 1838.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL RUsT, of the city of New York, county and State of Yew York, have invented a new and useful improvement in Samuel Rusts patent lamp for lighting houses, stores, and other places, which patent is dated December 5, A. D. 1837, and consists in applying the shade to Samuel Rusts patent lamp and other analogous lamps, which patent was granted October 6, A. D. 1885, and has been since sold to lVilliam Rowe, of Fishkill, Dutchess county, State of New York, and that the following is a full and correct description of said improvement as invented or improved by me.

The nature of my invention or improvement in the lamp above mentioned, consists in a convenient mode of applying the shade to the said Samuel Rusts patent'lamp and other analogous lamps, which invention, or ii'nprovement, completely obviates the obstruction of the roller which regulates the wick and is in place of inserting the roller into the shade holder of thelamp, or within or between the supporters or holders of the shade as has been used in said patent lamp. This mode of using the shade consists of attaching the shade holder to the top of the tube, or socket (which receives the wlck) above the roller with the roller inserted into or at the side of the tube, or socket, between the top of the stopple or lamp and the shade holder, as A, Figures 1 and 2, or the shade holder is attached to the tube, or socket, on top of the stopple, as B, Fig. 3, where the rim for the shade to rest on, or otherwise as convenience may require. The shade-holderwhen attached to the tube above the roller as described, is beautifully calculated to be applied to second hand as well as new lamps of this kind, glass, and metal, and the lamp may be handily used at pleasure'either with or without the shade or shade-holder as comvenience may require.

I do not inthis patent claim as my in-' vention or improvement, a stopple, or a roller, or the insertionof the roller into a stopple, or into a tube; neither do I claim the application of a shade to the said Samuel Rusts patent lamp and other analogous lamps on the insertion of the roller into the shade holder of the lamp, but I claim The attaching of the shade holder to the tube or socket of the lamp above the roller combined as aforesaid, or in any other. way essentially the same, and for which I request Letters Patent.

fitness my hand this twenty-first day of December one thousand eight hundred and thirty seven.

SAMUEL RUST. Witnesses:
